Dataset description
The Web Map Service called Biogeographic Regions allows the visualisation and consultation of the data set of areas with common climatic, orographic and geobotanical characteristics. The Habitat Directive establishes seven biogeographical regions: Alpine, Atlantic, Borealis, Continental, Macaronesian, Mediterranean and canonical. Subsequently, after the accession to the European Union of Romania and Bulgaria, places of the Stapic regions and the Black Sea are added, to protect specific areas of these two countries. This layer shows the four terrestrial biogeographic regions of the Directive that are present in Spain: Atlantic, Alpine, Mediterranean and Macaronesian.
